Am I the only one wondering if the president is the most irrelevant person in America? Yes, an engaged president surely matters in a time of crisis. Only fools can argue that BO and his team didn't save the world from economic collapse. Never mind that whole FDR thing. But let's deal with reality. #fucktrump … Continue reading Eleven Months

Direct Action
I'm probably out of my job anyway, so why not? My friend Jennifer Leto Revill is singing Christmas Eve with her church choir. Afterwards she and I are planning to eat the dinner she's cooking, a seven fish, Italian celebration thing. I have to admit to having no religion, to being agnostic. I have no … Continue reading Direct Action
A Trump Diversion
"A nation that is not proud of its history cannot be confident of its future". - Donald J. Trump Is the president saying that I, that we, that America should be proud of slavery? Of subjugating blacks? Of Jim Crow? Is he suggesting that we should be proud of the genocide that we committed against … Continue reading A Trump Diversion
Say No to Washington Corruption: Crash the Switchboard
Here is what I know: our Congress is about to pass a tax “cut” that shows a huge degree of corruption and incompetence. It’s being done behind closed doors with no debate. It’s an example of what both the left and right, the Tea Party and Occupy Movement say is wrong with Washington. Our voices aren’t being heard yet again.
Trillion
Do any of you even know what that number means? I thinks it's a thousand billion. The new tax cuts will add a trillion dollars in new debt. Are you a Tea Party member who thinks the government is just stealing? Or a Bernie Bot who thinks that we need provide better services? Get real. … Continue reading Trillion
Reality
The reality is that there is no right and there is no left. They are false realities to obfuscate, confuse distort. There is one reality: those in power take from those on the outside. Communism, fascism, capitalism, Nazism, Maoism, they all have in common that that powerful take from others. Don't get me wrong. They … Continue reading Reality
I’m an Angry White Man
Yeah. Go with the stereotype. Angry White Man. Obviously I must be a Trump supporter. And uneducated. I must be a, well, no. Wrong! Bernie. Bernie is white. And he's pretty damn angry. Let's move on from the stereotypes and start working on the things that connect us. 23. We all have 23 pairs of … Continue reading I’m an Angry White Man
Alabama
One can make a case that it's a backward place, behind the times. Or you can say it's where things start. The Montgomery bus boycott happened when Rosa Parks wouldn't give up her seat. Yeah, it may have been part of a plan. Regardless, it was the key to the start of the civil rights … Continue reading Alabama
Walter Cronkite
There was a time that Walter Cronkite was called and considered the most trusted man in America. I can't say if non-whites felt this way, but a poll overall likely would have shown this to be true. He was the man that most people heard tell them that JFK was dead. For me he was … Continue reading Walter Cronkite
Saying…
What he did is OK because America voted and elected him (leave out he lost the popular vote) is like him saying it wasn't rape because he didn't get arrested. #fucktrump resist
